Hiya jen1
we went Xmas 2001 had a great time though it was a little colder & wetter than we expected. because we had a 6yo we went for a character meal on Xmas day . Mickey, Minnie, Pluto & others all came to our table while we ate our meal. in all honesty it wasnt the greatest meal but i've had worse & our daughter just loved it. all i will say is whatever you decide to do book it up as soon as you can as obviously Xmas day is very popular, the restaurant we used was the Garden Restaurant in Epcot (i think) & its a revolving restaurant so you see different views whilst eating. one place that is very good & undiscovered by most is Boardwalk at Disney you go into the worlds at Epcot get a ferry or walk round the lake to a little place done out like a fishing village they have some nice restaurants & bars here
anyway hope you have a great time & hope i've helped a little
all the best

I’m sure you will love it, but be wary do not go to Disneyland, we found every Tom !!!!!! & Harry will be there, including the American TV channels.

My advice is to go somewhere quieter, come back a different day, when you will not be pinned in like sardines.

Also probably a good idea to book your main meal for Xmas day without being disappointed when they are either full or closed, you should have a great holiday, don’t forget the sales in the shopping mall’s.:j

If you're kids are girls and they are into the Disney Princesses a meal in Cinderallas Castle (sorry can't remember the actual name) would be really magical for them.

Yes both are girls, can you remember how much a meal will cost on xmas day at a place like that?
Thanks Jen1
